PENTICTON - The Penticton Indian Band continues to move its economy forward with a milestone announcement expected in the coming weeks.

Penticton Indian Band Chief Jonathan Kruger says one of the locatee owners is poised to sign a letter of intent within the next few weeks which will see the lease of a three-acre parcel of land for a commercial development on their lands across the new Satikw Bridge.

PENTICTON - It’s being called a “bridge to nowhere” by some on social media, but developers building the Satikw Bridge at Green Avenue on the Penticton river channel say that’s an unfair label for a project which has taken two decades to come to fruition.
